Don't tow a USCG vessel

[Raymond]

I got caught by 210 in 2007 just a little after sundown without nav lights.
They reviewed my paperwork, asked me to keep my hands out of my pockets, asked if I had any weapons onboard (pointed to knife in pocket) while standing beside a 60 cal. machine gun. Was given a summons that had to remain onboard for three years and told if they caught me out again that night I would be arrested. HUH?? They left me to head in without said navigation equipment that they issued the citation for on my own. On the way in I am thinking that CG did the same thing as letting a drunk drive himself home after getting pulled over for DWI.
